MLS game #26: DCU vs. Seattle Sounders FC

September 12, 2009

We all know the stakes for this one. Just ten days after Seattle came to RFK and won the U.S. Open cup in United's home, the expansion side returns to DC for a hugely important League match. Both teams are in the midst of a fight to make the playoffs, with every point gained important.

Seattle will be without Freddie Ljungberg who is serving a suspension for yellow card accumulation, while DC will again be without Marc Burch (ankle surgery) and Dejan Jakovic (bi-lateral hernia repair).

A crowd of more than 20,000 is expected tonight, so be sure to arrive early and check out the Latin Festival in Lot 8, which begins at 4pm. The late Danilo Noel Diron will be inducted into the Hall of Tradition pre-game, while the same honor will be bestowed upon Raul Diaz Arce at halftime.
